Default 65 Deck Lid Weight

Picked up at Norwalk a nice pin on fiberglass deck lid from a buddy that's been converted to a bolt on. Can't weigh more than 4-5 lbs. Curious what my stock steel lid weighs.

It weighs 3.85714 stones. Since you made me drag my bathroom scale out to my barn just to weigh a extra trunk lid, I guess I will make you work for it a bit.

I must be stronger than I think I am. I would have never guessed 54lbs.

I would, I have taken one off before. They seem lighter if you have two people carrying the thing so you don't scratch it up.
